ambitions to take
over Ray Shapez's position as the number one Boss. He's been
scheming and plotting against Ray behind his back...”
Aubrey shook her head. “He's
not just scheming to control all the mobsters. He's scheming to take
on the law enforcement agencies as well. C-18.”
“How do you know about
C-18?”
“Michael told me.”
“Who's Michael?”
“Michael Lee. He's a
senior police officer in the Investigation unit. He's been
transferred to C-18 and he said he would be reporting directly to
Walter Nguyen.”
“Michael Lee is the new
deputy head of C-18. But he's been on long leave. His colleagues
said he submitted his leave application through the system, and no
one could contact him.” Thor's eyes flashed as he concluded,
“His leave application was faked.”
Aubrey gave a jerky nod.
“Michael said he was at the hospital for a routine checkup when
Dr. Faizel injected him with this drug and the next thing he knew, he
was strapped down on a metal table with wires all over him. He's
been Changed, Thor.” Her voice cracked as she gripped his arm.
“He's been drugged out of his mind and made into
some...weapon, he said. I don't know what he's been Changed into but
I've seen his claws and teeth. H-he can't shift. Not like your
Black Bears. He's...trapped! He's become a weapon for them.”
“For Alberto Birns.
He's using Michael to take out the crucial members of C-18. Alberto
is targeting the members of C-18, destroying them from the inside,”
Thor snarled.
“Yes. Michael
said...on the night of the murder, he was given an injection and
dropped off at Walter Nguyen's house in the middle of the night. He
walked into Walter's house and went to the bedroom. And he...he
killed the man, and...ate him,” she stuttered. “He
didn't want to. But he couldn't stop himself. He said he was
screaming in his mind, trying to fight whatever was driving him to
attack Walter, but his body just wouldn't obey.”
“Alberto has many
people working for him. He got someone to pick Walter's lock before
Michael arrived. And Michael was just...a puppet. I've heard of
this drug,” Thor said grimly. “The drug renders
someone's body unable to respond to the commands of his or her own
brain. Instead, someone else takes control of the target's physical
body, his muscles, nerves and cells. The one at the controls can
even direct the target's body to Change form and shape, if the target
has already had some shifter toxin injected into his bloodstream.”
Aubrey grimaced. “How...”
“It's like a computer
virus. The hacker injects a virus into your computer and takes
complete control of your computer. But the drug is still in its
experimental stages. It shouldn't...”
“Then Michael is
their...prototype, their guinea pig. And Luke...” She gasped.
“No, we have to save them! They're still down in the chamber.
Michael said he'll protect Luke, but...what can he do? He's alone,
and they'll torture him, kill him. Thor, you have to do something!
You have to get them out now!”
Thor took a few sharp breaths
as he squinted off into the woods. “I know where they are.
I'll be able to find them, but I can't leave you here alone...”
“Who says I'm staying
here?” Aubrey retorted. “I'm coming with you!”
CHAPTER
SEVENTEEN
“I'll show you the way
to the tunnel.” Aubrey kicked up her chin imperiously. “You
won't be able to find it without me.”
Oh yes he could. But he
didn't want to tell her that.
He couldn't talk her out of
it. The stubborn little human insisted on leading the charge. She
was going to rescue those two trapped men. She wasn't going to
succumb to terror. Thor knew that she was scared and anxious, but
Aubrey didn't let her fear slow her down.
“Let's go get 'em!”
She began to stagger and
lurch through the undergrowth at a frenzied pace, shaking off his
attempts to hold her and support her. She had just escaped from a
horrific underground laboratory, but she was right now charging
over Ray Shapez's position as the number one Boss. He's been
scheming and plotting against Ray behind his back...”
